Just wanted to take a second to honor Roy on American Hotrod (Boyd's Cottington). I just heard about him passing away...must say I will miss him. He was definitely the best that Boyd had...true craftsman. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif)

R.I.P. Roy.....
Has anyone here been to witness Boyd's operation? I haven't, so I know nothing of what really goes on there. A couple of things do however come to mind (not in defense, but an objective alternative). First, TV is all about the drama, otherwise the show would be a bore for anyone other than fabricator geeks like myself. But this is Hollywood, and anyone that thinks otherwise is in for a surprise. Personalities like Duane make for drama......Notice how much air time they give him? Make you wonder? It shouldn't. Think OCC. Second, the comments about "getting dirty" may or may well not apply here. Boyd has a (presumably larger) business to run and may be better served by running operations, customer service, promotion, etc. He may work well into the night on keeping the business running. Maybe not, I don't know; anyone? Boyd is not a spring chicken, and even with his publicized business problems, he probably has done well enough to where he can slow up a click or two and enjoy life (life, not wife!). Andys |
